 - That is a nice reference, but I think it is insufficient as it does not
state what force is driving the boulder and assuming it is gravity since it
is the magical part of the boulder being resisted the natural deflection of
the magical part influences the mundane part. To clarify, assume the
original rock is encased by the extra mass, then the extra mass is deflected
which interacts with the rock. Using my logic the boulder would be
suppressed and therefore only a rock comes towards me and there would be
acheck necessary if it still hit me or not. Alternativelt it may be argued
that due to the muto spell the trajectory of the original rock is no longer
natural and hence is also parmaed.

 - I still disagree with the last unless it is actually directing the stone
at me or affects me on hitting.

Hajo
